“The momentum in the camera market has shifted emphatically from digital still cameras to mobile devices. The market for image sensors in the mobile device segment was $4.9 billion in 2012, and is forecast to grow to $8.7 billion in 2017, and Aptina’s AR2520HS sensor is designed for this segment,” said Brian O'Rourke, senior principal analyst of consumer electronics at IHS.

“The AR2520HS offers an astounding full field-of-view 120 frames-per-second slow motion capture. To further enhance the experience, this is coupled with our MobileHDR technology to ensure amazing mixed-light performance,” said Sandor Barna, Chief Technology Officer at Aptina. “Aptina, with this ultra-high-performance sensor, is delivering the full camera experience into mobile phones and tablets.”
